The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Printing to an 8.5" x 11" in DD3

Hey all,

I am a CC3/DD3 newbie user. I have gone through the tutorials that I have found on using the software and it has helped, however I am running into an issue. I have a map created that I want to use as a battle map for my next game. I created it as a 45' x 55' area, with each square being the standard 5' space. When I go to print the map, I can not for the life of me figure out how to print it out across multiple pages so that each square on the grid is exactly 1" in size (the standard for the map pieces). Can anyone help me out with this? I know that this map will span multiple pages and I am fine with connecting them together myself, I just need to get it printed out at the size where I can use my miniatures on it for battles.
